On the overseas trip, RD limited the budget to £20k, which is why they struggled with it. They either managed to find a way of doing it for £20k or the budget went up.
There is a (reasonable) view that Robinson wasted money last year going to Ireland twice.
Suppose if we only have 9 players it won't be too expensive
To the tune of Billy Joel, we didn't start the fire
Doucher, Duchatelet, how much will the Aussies pay
Sparrows Lane, James Seed, 1000 pages on my feed
Ezri Konsa, Redskin, patience is running thin
North Greenwich, the Peninsula, has this thread gone too far
Elfsborg, Red Henry’s wrong, nth London addick sings a different song
In the know, the price too high, Napa can’t multiply
J Block, breakthrough, Roland needs a new shoe
Ibborg, Blackpool, Roland you are a tool
We can’t sell the club, it’s been on the market, and he’ll sell our next starlet
We can’t sell the club, The Aussies want to buy it, the EFL will fight it
Done deal, Airman Brown, Hackett Fairchild going down
Donald Muir, he’s not poor, Roland can you reduce the price a little more
Russell Slade, Lewis Page, Colin’s on the rampage
Hashtag not a penny more, Roland’s on the dance floor
Rubashow, press release, KAG questioned by police, Roland brush your teeth
Essex Al, on the prowl, onward to 2000 pages now, Airman is our sacred cow
Chris Powell, Harry Kewell, Gomez got sold to Liverpool
Checkatrade, hopes fade, how much longer for this whole charade
We can’t sell the club, it’s been on the market, and he’ll sell our next starlet
We can’t sell the club, The Aussies want to buy it, the EFL will fight it
How long did it take to compose that ? Great effort.
ha - got the elbow from this bird I've been seeing yesterday so naturally I thought what better way to spend the evening than to put our takeover into song form.
I'll have a crack at the next two verses
That's long distance relationships for you @t'cobbles.
How yellow are her teeth?
Those railings have probably done some damage over the years.
Been detached from following this too closely over the last week, but if I try and weigh up what seems the most likely rumour aspects its as follows
- strong rumours that following a review by the EFL, one or two investors who were part of the consortium no longer are
- strong rumours that the consortium reduced their offer, whether as a result of losing investors or for a different reason
- Roland 'reacted badly' and sold Konsa. Attempts were made to buy off the o/s director debt at a reduced rate, which appears to have been unsuccessful. RD has since re-engaged with forming budget plans based on a non-takeover
- Loose / fixed deadlines set for finalising consortium / proving funding capability / completion
- @JamesSeed now believes that the consortium have plugged the investor gap that was created during the EFL process
Not as detailed a summary as Henners excellent ones, but am I following what are perceived to be the most likely of the rumours / info being shared?
This is the perfect gif for this whole saga - up and down, up and down, up and down, and never getting any closer to the end of the ride.
No real squad. No footballing management. No senior management. Training ground is a building site.
Who in their right mind would buy us in our current situation.
I can't help but feel The aussies are gonna pull out and we're gonna be proper fucked.
Or they'll seperate club and ground and we'll be on the road to AFC Charlton, what Roland has done to us is unforgivable.
We really need one of the previous groups to come back in, although I fear time has run out for next season and one why or another, RD will have some form of control over us next season.
For someone who's never wrong and doesn't do failure he'll be hurting though Stu and totally p*ssed off from 1.5% of his business interests giving him so much grief which I can take plenty of comfort from.
He wants out and has to bite the bullet at some point.
I bet he's not hurting as much as I am, or 95% of this forums membership.
Maybe it's my 60 years of support that has hardened me as part of the remaining 5% then. As I said the other day he can't take away all my treasured memories down those years and I won't let it get me down.
My first game was early 1958......I have supported the Addicks for more than half its existence and I will be damned if I am going to let the shit stain destroy my passion.....fuck you Goldfinger.....fuck you a million times over. 100% he has strong sociopathic traits.....just like the character Ian Fleming created, he has little or no empathy or understanding of others emotions and as such most likely doesn’t have a clue about the stress and despair caused simply because they are emotions he himself doesn’t have.

Sounds like my ex-wife!
Yeah but apart from that, there must have been some attraction though mate .

Thank you. Worth a promote that I reckon.
I see your stats are similar to Henners, plenty of quantity slightly lacking in quality. Keep plugging away though mate

The club are off to Portugal for a training camp - Something happened to earn that sign off.
Lyle Taylor has come in - Someone authorised his purchase. Harry Lennon and several others have gone out - Someone authorised his sale
I can't help but hope that these moves are being orchestrated by someone intending to buy the club...
I don't care who you are Where you're from What you did As long as you buy CAFC
Bowyer does have a budget. Yes Taylor would have to be signed off but at present the departures of Konsa, Kashi and Lennon plus the wages of the loans are being saved and that money is what Bowyer has to play with. At present he’s in credit. I’m not saying that he will have all that wages money available but even RD is not stupid enough to think you can let 9 players leave and not replace at least some.
Remember this is the same man that:
- thought Polish Pete and Reza were adequate replacements for Yann - appointed Katrien Meire - paid Roger Johnson's wages on 2 separate occasions - thinks {...} is part of the English Language - made a teenager/early 20's man child Charlton's 'chief scout'/ head of the network scouting team - Paid money for Bergdich - thought Charlton fans wanted the club to fail because we protested about HE was running the club
have i missed anything?
Regardless, the man has history with Stupid decisions
Yes. Refuses to buy a dishwasher because washing up after dinner gives him quality time with his wife.

My mum never wanted a dishwasher her view was 'What do I need one of those for I've got your father' .
Apparently Charlton can no longer afford breakfast for all the development squads before training. Seriuously? What planet are they on?
Planet Roland, he's down to his last E400m.
Agreed, but where is the backbone of the club? Let's piss over the ones on minimum wage!? Sorry not good enough Charlton. This needs noise people.
What's this all about?
18's & 23's will no longer have breakfast provided . First team only, it might seem minor I know, but the majority are kids. Take into account their travel time for most, this is petty at best.

If that is true then it does seem that RD is cost cutting and his departure is not imminent.

Cost cutting until he departs, which could still be any time, next week. next month or next year.

Unfortunately you are correct. The Belgium madman will be here next season.

By the way I'm sorry Katie dumped you.
Duchatelet constantly looking for someone to pay more than club is worth rather than take the various offers made.
RolandW*nker, he's down to his last E400m.Surely you have bigger eggs to fry?
